Iconic entertainer heading to Tampa

A superstar in several entertainment and business sectors will be appearing in Tampa for a show from his current tour in late August.

Lionel Richie began his music journey as one of the founding members of the R&B group Commodores. In addition to his vocal talents, Richie also plays both the piano and the saxophone. His solo career found him reaching an even broader audience.

Richie has hits such as “Endless Love” (with Diana Ross), “All Night Long (All Night),” “Dancing On The Ceiling,” and “Hello” under his belt. Outside of music, he serves as a coach/judge on ABC’s “American Idol,” as well as having fragrance, home decor, and furniture lines.

The Sing A Song All Night Long Tour also features the legendary band Earth, Wind & Fire (EWF). The pair of acts will sing and dance the night away in the Amalie Arena. Both Richie and EWF have their own VIP options for purchase. Richie’s goes for $422.20 and contains access to a special entrance and staff, a reserved ticket, a lanyard, a laminate, and an exclusive gift. Details on EWF’s package, as well as all other tickets, can be located on the event’s page on Ticketmaster.

Concerts will often have separate booths for each artist’s merch, much of which highlights a graphic design that ties back to them. The show is going to begin at 7:30 pm, taking place on Saturday, August 26.
